Answer 2

The answers are:

345 dollars

34500 cents

Explanation:

In order to determine the answers, we have to know about the percentage notation. For any "x" value that is expressed as x%, it is the same that:

x%=
`(x)/(100)`

So, first we determine the value in dollars and then we determine the value in cents, where:

1 dollar=100 cents

In dollars $:

=5.75%*$6000

=
`(5.75)/(100)`*$6000

=$345.00

In cents c:

=5.75%*6000*100

=
`(5.75)/(100)`*6000*100

=34500.00 cents
